I have the tech "Naval Aviation, Heavier than Air, Dive Bombing." It says that it enables dive bombers but when I click on request a proposal for new aircraft, I don't get an option for Dive Bomber. All the other plane types I've researched seem to be there.
Am I missing something or is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Currently playing build 1.11 as Japan, doing a 1920 start.
Thanks!

OK. I researched Large Carriers and can now build CVs. It appears that I can now request proposals for dive bombers (as well as medium bombers). Does anyone know if this is WAD? Being able to build CVs allows you to develop dive bombers and medium bombers?

I dunno. Does building a CV allow you to request proposals for DB's? I thought DB's were a separate tech that's in Heavier than Air, not Shipboard Aircraft Ops.
Edit: I misread your OP. Sorry. I dont know if CV tech is required for DB's to enable after getting DB tech. But that is what happened? You got DB tech, couldnt use it until you unlocked CV construction?

As soon as I got the DB tech, I went to request a proposal and DBs weren't on the list. So I kept playing and got the CV tech. When I got the CV tech I looked at the list again and it was there. So somewhere after receiving the DB tech and before or else at the point of being able to purpose build CVs I received the ability to create DBs. Very confusing. |

I vaguely remember a similar thing happening, but there was no carrier tech involved. It is entirely possible you need to wait a turn after DB tech is researched before you can order them. Not sure though.

I can verify that I've gotten the "You can now build dive bombers" message and not actually been able to hold a competition for them until quite some time later (months, years). Not sure if that was a deliberate narrative/gameplay decision or if it was an unintentional bug.
To be specific, I'm not talking about a message similar to "Aviation pundits are absolutely apoplectic over the the idea of a medium bomber" (which also does not result in being able to design one) - I'm talking about a literal "You've researched the ability to design dive bombers"-type message where, well, it turns out I haven't.
I would understand if it took longer to have carrier-capable dive bombers than it did to put them on land bases, but as of right now the message seems very misleading.
